How it ends

POSITIVES…

  • What would you do if you knew it was the last day on earth? That's the undeniably fascinating premise for this generally lighthearted movie. 

  • There's a plot gimmick about younger selves that is uniquely interesting. 

  • This is essentially a series of back to back random moments and unsuspecting encounters that keep you on the edge of your toes. 

  • Some genuinely sweet scenes that are nice. 

  • Musical interludes. 

  • Emotionally honest at times. Earnestly cathartic even. 

  • Conversations. This is all about the conversations. 

  • Zoe Lister-Jones and Cailee Spaeny are fantastic in this! It's them as a remarkable duo that really carries this movie. 

  • The supporting cast is nuts! Loved seeing all these character actors take part in this movie. 

  • I like that recurring background visual that pops up occasionally. 

  • Appreciated the commentaries about life in general. Existentialism, self reflections, and all that. 

  • You just might like the weird quirkiness of this movie.

NEGATIVES…

  • This is a weird quirky movie, and it's absolutely not for everybody. 

  • Maybe a little too precious, and a little pretentious at times? 

  • There's a low production to the movie, and the obvious COVID restrictions that unfortunately really shows. 

  • Natural lighting can only take you so far with the cinematography. 

  • Is the premise remotely believable, or are you just immediately taken out of the movie? Will you be able to suspend your disbelief?
